[Nfb-krafters-korner] Beading Tool Kits

[Joy Relton]

Terry, 

I think that it would be good to buy such a kit. Where did you find it?
Laurie, can you enlighten us as to the function of the tools Terry
described?

Joy;
I looked at the kit.  It looks lik 3 different items with handles like
pliers and an item with a mini shuvle at the end and one that is kind of
pointed at the end.


Laurie;
Maybe you or someone can tell us what these items are.

Joyce,

I tried to answer you email but it didn't go through and I got a little
distracted. I have already encouraged folks in our chapter to join but we
need to work a little slower on do such things. We have the very tech savvy
and the not so much so. 

]By the way, Terry, where did you obtain the tools and what do they consist
of? 0

Super!  Maybe I or those from VA know them.

Terry

Also, the earring idea sounds great!

Laurie; can we learn how to make a wire wrap around bracelet and learn how
to crimp the ends.  I have been examining ones in my office gift shop and
have some great ideas. I even saw a large beaded bracelet and it had large
links of chain inter twined from side to side of the beaded bracelet.  The
links covered a few beads and went through to the other side and covered a
few and back to the frunt. 

We need to go over, as a groop, what spacer beads are for.
I was talking about beading to a friend, outside of the group.  We need to
learn some more names for kinds of beads. What is a bead called when it is
pointed at each end and fat in the middle, like 2 triangles, back to back.
What are they called with a bumpy texture, with a smoothe texture. I could
go one and one. I already have a tool kit, but have not tried to use it.  My
friend helped me buy it with a gift card, last year.

Terry

Joy,
 
Since you are a chapter president,
 
Please do encourage your folks to join us over here at Krafters Korner or at
least promote the classes we offer.  
 
Getting the word out to as many people about what we do here I hope everyone
will put this on their list of "to do's for 2010"!  The more people we get
to join us the more opportunities we all will have to learn new  crafting
skills and projects.
 
I heard from a lady yesterday that wants to join us and she lives in
Baltimore.  She is blind and her Mom is losing her sight and she plans on
signing them both up for our group.
